For the genus of dragonflies, see Amphithemis (dragonfly).
In Greek mythology, Amphithemis (Ancient Greek: Ἀμφίθεμις), was the name of the following characters:
Amphithemis, also called Garamas (Γαράμας), son of Apollo and Acalle, daughter of Minos. He was born in Libya, to where Minos had banished his pregnant daughter, Acacallis in retribution for her having an illicit relationship. Amphithemis consorted with Libyan lake nymph Tritonis who bore him two sons, Nasamon and Caphaurus. This Caphaurus, also known as Cephalion, was a shepherd who slew the Argonauts Eurybate (son of Teleon) and Canthus after they plundered his flocks.[1] In some stories, Amphithemis was the first mortal born.[citation needed] The Libyans claimed that Garamas was born before the Hundred-handed Ones and that, when he rose from the plain, he offered Mother Earth a sacrifice of the sweet acorn.[2][3]
Amphithemis, one of the horned Lamian Centaurs or Lamian Pheres, offspring of the Lamusides nymphs.[4]
